I feel a bit of a fraud, not being a regular poster but nevertheless take pole position. Yey! I came here to see if anyone else had read about the late Iranian president having, according to the BBC, a ‘mixed legacy’. Huh!! Just what does it take for the BBC to describe people properly?
Mind you, I read that on a GB News headline. They do like to mix it a bit, knowing their readership.
I wish we could have a news service that was..you know..just in the ‘middle’. No agenda, no bias just dull and accurate without an attempt to swing your vote. Wishful thinking I’m sure.
There were two trolls at one time, if I remember correctly. Anyway, I received an email from Nigel Farage encouraging me to vote for him in the TV awards. Following the link I came across all sorts of people and programmes and didn’t recognise one of them! Ok maybe MOTD but I don’t watch that anyway. I felt quite refreshed at my lack of knowledge. Seems I really AM avoiding TV shows. Copying this onto a word file in case a TV licence person knocks at the door
Angeline Mahal was attacked by a dog at her home in Cornwall Close (Supplied)
” More people living and working close to Monday’s dog fatal attack have given their reaction to the tragic death of Angeline Mahal this afternoon.
The street was evacuated hours after armed police were called to the scene.
Speaking to The Mirror, one elderly neighbour, who has lived on the street for 40 years, said: “I was scared stiff, there were four or five armed officers who all came round and we were evacuated from our houses.
“There were cars and ambulances and a dozen officers. I said to the police, ‘Is it safe?’, because we were worried there might be a gunman or someone with a sword, it was terrifying.
‘We had no idea it was a dog attack.’ ”
Wonder what the actual law is here?
Police : EVACUATE NOW!
Resident : buzz off, I’m eating my dinner.
The positive side is that the next time you are on a flight, you can be sure that no matter how bad the turbulence the wings are not going to fall off.

lol – we don;t get told this but I was reading the other day how the car ‘autopilots’ have far fewer accidents and hence are much safer.
The elephant in THAT room of course is that autopilot accidents are actually blamed on the human who was supposed to intervene but didn’t.
There are many facts about these things we are not told about. For example here in Thailand, many people travel in the back of trucks. The ‘autopilot’ see’s these people in front and slams on the brakes.
And of course after slamming on the brakes for no reason at all, anyone who runs into the back of them is to blame, not the autopilot.
I fail to see why anyone in their right mind would buy an electric car, starting with the ludicrously high purchase price. Is it a form of willy waving?
I think that because of the mass hysteria and blatant misrepresentation by the media, these people actually believe they are making a difference globally.
Plus of course to virtue-signal if they bought a higher end model.
I will buy one when they are best option on the market.
Companies buy these cars because of the tax breaks, especially the benefits in kind. It makes perfect sense for them.
The companies usually lease the cars for two or three years, then they are sold on to the second hand market. There the problem starts, as no-one wants to buy a second hand EV. They are too expensive, and you have lost two or three years of battery life. Who wants that?
So EVs are a dead duck in the second hand market, and without that the whole business model crumbles. Welcome to clown world.
THIS is why the extreme hypocrites on the Left disgust me so much:
This story would be front-page news if it were not because of the racists at the BBC. It is a horrendous story which should have all the Lefty activists on the streets demanding laws be changed and action being taken. We should be getting daily headlines of what happened and how it was allowed to happen. Panorama should be hounding people on the street about what they did.
Which has all the information the BBC SHOULD have had. I didn’t see it on any main page so I had to search to find it.
What this – and others stories like it – prove to me beyond any dount whatsoever is that all these ‘feminist activists’ who take to the streets, demand the laws are changed and get full coverage by the BBC for their night-time vigils are nothing more than racist white male hating misandrists.
They completely ignore the BIG stories like this which are not one individual white pervert, they are gangs organised in Muslim communities who are confident none of them will shop the group to the infidels. It’s totally different and 100 times worse.
And the woke scum at the BBC are 100% complicit. They don’t care how many white girls are raped by Muslim gangs. All they care about is protecting them and stopping us knowing about it for their far-Left agenda.
I’m not even certain what that agenda is any more. It seems they think that if they keep trying to be their friends, they can sneak ‘good morales’ in and eventually change them to be like us. And in order to their ‘friends’, they must not shame them with reports like this.
They are doing EXACTLY the same with the other Muslims in Gaza.
These people make me sick. The BBC (and the Left) share the guilt for the abuse of these young girls. What do these hypocrites say themselves ? – ‘silence is violence’ ?.
I can 100% appreciate how the Left have murdered so many millions in the past when they are convinced by their own ideological agenda that it is for the best in the long run.
Yesterday BBC wrote a long detailed article about AI, climate and power
“ooh scary data centres use lots of energy”
Then he got his maths wrong
A city might run on one 1GW gas power station ie 1,000 MW
he talks about an AI operation running at 4MW for 90 days
In a 24 hour day 4*24 = about 100MW hours
In 90 days about 9000MWh
Actually about 8600
Or 8.6GWh
See how that’s what one power station puts out in a day !
Yet he wrote it’s “more than the entire Northern Ireland annual consumption” !!!
He was out my miles
Radio 4’s “Costing The Earth” did a similar thing and got called out “A single 4*4 tank of fuel can power an average house for a year”
When challenged weeks later on “Feedback” the producer flounced about saying “highest production values” blah, blah “Public Service Broadcasting” blah, blah. It was toe curling and Roger Bolton let him off the hook.
Seems the BBC guy made another error
the charts indicate NI domestic meter consumption is 450GWh
Ie a week is about 8.6GWh
Since another category is called standard meters
And must include non-domestics like factories and government buildings. And its tally is another 80%
Ie total is about 16Gwh/week for City of Belfast
The story is exciting enough without all the embellishments. The distances were lower than the BBC said
ie just a 17KM walk to the village
and it wasn’t a 100Km tractor ride , it was less according to the newspaper
I read something the other day about a mature BBC reporter saying they are having alot of trouble with the new reporters because they are all left-wing activists.
The irony that the BBC played it’s part in making them like that was lost. This is why I believe any Leftist society which evolves is inevitably doomed to consume itself and fail. The whole ideology goes against nature.
Philip-2 posted an excellent clip late last evening, which might get lost with today’s new posts about the tiresome Beeboid obfuscation and poor output…
We really do need to see more of these articles, especially as the tax-funded gibberists in W1AA are being paid an awful lot of money to peddle their dangerous nonsense!
HarryPassfield just commented on Air Turbulence Scare Based On One Dodgy Study.
If CAT is ‘unpredictable, virtually invisible and hard to detect’ I wonder what the error bars would look like in any study of the effect and its increase or decrease, let alone its attribution.
A political estate comprising PPE grads informed by scientists qualified in funding applications, held to account by acrisvist Arts grads, has brought us this low.
Scrob,
Thank you. It is a good read.
I think that the reason the hyperglobalists and their minions in the UN, national governments and MSM, are so sensitive to anyone who questions the climate apocalypse is that they are using climate as a major weapon in their plan for an anti democratic One World Government .
They will be able to gain all sorts of leverage over us ordinary folk if they can convince us that we will all be burnt to a cinder if we don’t do as we are told. Smart meters being a good example.
It will be very interesting to see how they deal with new Dutch government which has started abandoning several Net Zero policies. They can’t let Holland opt out of Net Zero or it will be the first stone in an avalanche.
Regarding smart meters, I’ve just fixed our monthly DD to a rate which is just under double what we were paying in 2016. Nut zero is indeed a weak government’s response to pressure from those much higher up the gravy train, and all paid for by the likes of us mortals!
Labour will continue with the farce within the next ten months, and there’ll be absolutely nothing we can do about it, even if power prices are sure to be an electioneering issue!
Beeboids’ clusterfeckers like Packham will be just unbearable – that’s if anyone watches or listens to their gobbledygook…
Yup, they are criminal, and clearly a way to complicate usage and cost!
This ‘green’ interference is really beginning to get out of hand now. Sunka seems to be doing absolutely nothing to help normal citizens where their power bills have sky-rocketed!
Actually Fed, I have to admit that our previous analogue meter was so out of sync, that the Econ 7 charges were being lost to day-time rates as the clock was wrong! I actually wanted to buy a fuse for something or other, and the electrical shopkeeper said he hadn’t seen anything like it for thirty years or so…
What the hell … “With his dark green camouflage jacket draped over one shoulder, he has the air of a performer about to take the stage. He is here to urge the soldiers in the base below, who are loyal to the country’s ruling military, to switch sides.”
Are you between 18 and 30 and looking for an opportunity to help the wider community, in Europe and beyond?
You could do this with funding and support from the European Solidarity Corps, which helps young people take part in projects that benefit communities, either abroad or in their own country.
These projects offer an inspiring and empowering experience, as well as the chance to bring change while developing your skills and competences.
So what can you do?
Broadly, you can get involved in:
Volunteering Activities
Solidarity Projects
Humanitarian Aid Volunteering (European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps)*
These can be in a wide range of fields – education and training, citizenship and democratic participation, environment and natural protection, migration, culture, humanitarian aid, and many others. https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity_en
Forget the blood horror – that was yesterday – today is vennels day – the day she turns up at the post office inquiry and tells it she can’t remember anything – that she has been diagnosed with some made up mental condition which affects her memory ….
Will this vicar shed tears? Will she apologise ? Will she admit her corruption ? You can guess .
Meanwhile – before PMQs a letter to police chiefs not to arrest because the prisons are full … I bet it doesn’t say it’s because of an extra 10 million foreigners in 10 years eh?
But day after day serious criminal cases end in long prison sentences – they have to go somewhere ….
Apparently an extra 500 five star hotels have been requisitioned to house immigrants who have been sentenced to a prison term . These come fully equipped with gyms, swimming pool, Michelin star restaurants ( as a cost saving measure the Home Office have conceded that some hotels with only a single Michelin star rather than the stipulated two or three, may be included ). The ball rooms of the hotels will be turned into Mosques. A budget of £5 billion has been set aside for this work.
Female staff have been given training on how to wear modest clothing so as not to inflame the passions of the prisoners, sorry guests. It has also been made clear to them that if they are molested by guests it will be their own fault and that they can bring no charges because to do so would be racist in the extreme.
Any excess white British prisoners are to be accommodated in an ex army base in Northumberland . The Home Office has bought 100 DIY manuals from BandQ plus ample supplies of materials as the camp is in disrepair having been unoccupied since 1978. The plan is that the prisoners will upskill themselves by trial and error before winter sets in. Food supplies will be dropped by helicopter if any aircraft are available and the weather permits.
There was a documentary about overcrowding a while back. As you might expect, they hid the inconvenient truth – but at one point as it went past a port-hole window to a cell, you could see it was full of BAME.
Same as the looting during the BLM riots. We only got to see the police cars in attendance, but when they interviewed a cop, you could see the stream of black people carrying their loot in the background.
One might also wonder why nobody was stopping them. I presume it was because there were so many, it might cause trouble which the media would again mis-represent.
Today
Our Justin interviews a shadow labour treasury chap – he asks whether the reds will take us back into the EU . No says Red . Our Justin says ‘why not join the single market ‘ – and then tells said red why it’s a great idea .
Poor Justin then – unusually – gets a flat ‘no’ – to returning to the EU and ‘no’ to the Single Market .
So there you have it people – no EU / single market from the Reds … for the moment …. But the BBC WANTS US BACK IN .
And then there is green crap . Run a story about bad weather – a farmer with wet fields . He says something is changing . Then the BBC use this to inflict green crap on us – as though the British climate is separate from the rest of the world – that consumption across the world is increasing – rightly – and hence energy use will increase whilst the UK destroys you and me on the alter of a false green crap red agenda ..
If as seems likely the EU elections in June result in a large shift to the right will the BBC be as keen? I have long thought that it might be the Europeans , the Eastern Europeans in particular, who save us from ourselves.
It may be a passing straw in the wind but I see little hope of the bovine British resisting Islamification unless we receive outside help.
Before the Single Market I drove HGVs all over Europe both in the EU ( or old equivalent ) and outside the EU paying taxes , tolls and other charges . The foreign trucks paid nothing to the UK when travelling here .
After the Single Market I drove HGVs all over Europe both in the EU ( or old equivalent ) and outside paying taxes , tolls and other charges . The foreign trucks paid nothing to the UK when travelling here .
But we were in the Single Market .
Girl after mine own heart Allison Pearson of the Telegraph ponders: What other scandals await corrupt Britain?
As of August 2023, there are 13 statutory inquiries taking place in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland… Inquiries are a bit like political scandals – there are always several going on at once. They’re part of the background hum of our public life. (A welcome debut hereabouts for Milners Solicitors ‘Your no-nonsense Yorkshire solicitors… When you need legal expertise, you’ll find us plain talking’)
“Short inquiry” isn’t quite an oxymoron – but they do tend to take their time. Alongside overspending, this is perhaps the most common criticism levelled against them… They cover everything from civil engineering to police misconduct; from the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic to abuse in the immigration system. At Milners, we’re proud to represent individuals in inquiries… (Milners)
Milners attitude to our many and various multiple long-running official public inquiries reminds me of a visual gag from a Laurel & Hardy movie (here’s one for the teenagers) plodding along somewhere through the big American outdoors our comic pair observe a mighty mountain peak. Suddenly the summit is surrounded by a halo of stars – in comedic immitation of the Paramount Pictures logo:“Looks like bread and butter to me” is the punchline.
Cod liver oil may be making you ill – warns the Telegraph – vintage comic duo Tom and Jerry were onto that one years ago.
Pick a supranatinonal unaccountable globalist know-it-all body and pick their various utterances for one that best suits your chosen political narrative: UK risks debt crisis as Tories and Labour ignore IMF over tax cuts (‘i’); IMF calls for three rate cuts by end of year as inflation falls (Telegraph) – how about Britain elects a government that has the suffient nouce to pick its own economic policy that best serves our own local economic interests? Ignore the globalist opinion. There’s a radical notion.
BBC online news page undergoes a revamp. Suddenly from among old favourite stagers such as Israel-Gaza War,Cost of Living and War in Ukraine – the parvenu India Elections major news tab is summarily dropped – like school dinners Rashford from the England squad: Eur out Rash (giveaway Metro); Rashford and Henderson get Euro chop (‘i’) – knowing our state schools that’ll be a Halal chop
Lost interest in the India Elections, BBC? Well goodness gracious me!

And as Esther Rantzen campaign devotees ponder whether to send grandad on an all expenses paid trip of a lifetime to Switzerland… or on a flight to Singapore – I never claimed these topical jokes were going to be tasteful – Dame Esther: I wish my husband was alive to get best present of all (Daily Express)
Don’t panic, she’s not suggesting smothering him with a pillow right after he blows out his candles.
Jersey is debating whether to change their law and legalise assisted dying. My Desi would be absolutely thrilled (Daily Express) – let’s attempt to tackle the cognative dissonance here – there must be some logic somewhere – Esther wishes he were alive, so that she could now pack him off to Jersey – to bump him off?
Because our NHS doctors don’t do that sort of thing at present anyway with a nod and a wink? Have Esther and her campaigners never had a terminally ill relative in NHS care? Because Mr AsI has and knows how these things work. We don’t need no additional legislation on this issue. Like a lot of newly thunk up legislation monkeying with our existing laws it will inevitably do far worse harm than good. And of course make more work for more lawyers.
And on that serious note…

Yeah Jersey – single BA flight from Heathrow – a bargain £200 and no need for a return . Let’s hope the do a terminal ‘package ‘ complete with crematorium …..
You can see where the assisted dying will go – more and more attempts at getting legislation through – until it happens and Esther can get her way ….
The whole contaminated blood horror was about the NHS assisting dying ….

Dear Winston Smith in the BBC Department of Truth paid under threat of prosecution,
Can you tell me why you have not repeatedly reported on BBC radio and TV news 24/7 regarding the COVID vaccines trials data and results and UK Government’s emergency powers during COVID.
Hard left MP Richard Burgon blames all the worlds problems on the “Zionists” whilst addressing a muslim gathering. Denies he ever said this in an interview with Andrew Neil. Andrew shows him the video actually saying this out loud. Burgon just shrugs his shoulders. Still an MP, no shame whatsoever.
He and his like, even more of them after the next GE.
He is as thick as Rayner but more dangerous. Currently out screaming about some idiot governments with caches of hand grenades scattered about major cities ‘recognising’ those who know how to use them and not at fellow drugs dealers.
“The Home Office (the Department) is the lead government department for crime, the police, drugs policy, immigration and
passports, and counter terrorism. It has four priorities: cut crime; reduce immigration; prevent terrorism; and promote growth
by keeping the UK safe.”
“The street is patrolled by armed police from the Diplomatic Protection Group, and there is usually at least one police officer outside the front door of Number 10.”
““The street is patrolled by armed police from the Diplomatic Protection Group, and there is usually at least one police officer outside the front door of Number 10.”
“…armed…” The Home Office islamic legislation team have not got to the disarming of the police yet. Every other pro tem ‘offensive weapon’ to deprive you, the public, of any hope of tackling an attacker/invader. Yes.
The deputy blue PM is urging everyone to have 3 days of stuff in case there is a supply problem – and doing things like buying bottled water might help if / when systems fail ….
But not to protect yourself from those who could not be bothered to stock up themselves preferring to take yours. Home Office? they’d prefer to see you leave your front door wide open.
I’m not prepared to spend an inordinate amount of effort to explore a controversial topic which most sensible people now question, viz.: ‘Climate Change’. But, like many others, my guts tell me what I need to know but, I am very uncomfortable with the stats and nonsense the public is being fed. So here’s a very brief sojourn into the way I see one practical part of the nonsense.
We hear on our own, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” this morning that the rainfall is now reaching levels that can only be attributed to “The Climate Catastrophe”.
In a simple DEFRA table: “Average temperature and total rainfall in England and Wales : 1845 to 2012”,
a quick eye-ball scan of the data, tells the researcher that little has changed over the years. Post 2012? Figures in this graphical form are no longer available………
Rainfall data only easily available up until 2013. Why so? Well DEFRA note:
“8 December 2014
The indicator has been revised in line with discussions with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology on amending the old rainfall and temperature index.” “Amend” inches/mm cannot be amended can they? A link given to search the Centre for Eco Loonery? Good luck with that. All obfuscation and confusion in accordance with the common policy of depriving the general public of simple-to-understand easily obtainable data.
My overriding questions? Well, if I’m not mistaken, in every circumstance, water is used to reduce temperatures and douse fires. No? Well it appears not. Putting aside the dense cooling cloud cover that exists when we get heavy rain should the temps during this rain not have the effect of being reduced? No, they go up. Counter intuitive? You bet. Surely this must mean that the temperatures are really off the scale if there was no, forgive me, ‘cooling rain and cloud’?
Weird, no cumulative graph over the years…………
But by hour of the day and by month.
You would think that if you were trying to convince the unwashed that there was a “Climate Catastrophe” problem, you would cover and distort all bases. The plot thickens by the day.

I had exactly the same feeling watching them applaud when Baldwin did his Trump impersonations.
They weren’t applauding because he was funny, they were applauding the insults. Because that’s what the Left are really like when you scrape through their veneer of virtue-signalling and hypocrisy. Shallow, greedy, unpleasant and nasty.
It looks like vennals is using the ‘nobody told me defence ‘ and implicitly’i was out of my depth ‘ …
How did such an imbicile get such a job ? Was it a woke tick box ‘we need a woman in charge ?’

22 Lost in Manchester …. why is this a terrible statement?
Lost … so they will be found?
Lost …. weasel words rather than killed or murdered so as not to upset anyone or cause HATE.
Lost ….. a child given a Western education and opportunity decided Islam was better, but we cannot look into this problem because all cultures are EQUAL.
Lost …… children killed for an ideology, but that ideology cannot be criticised.
Lost …….. 1400+ kids were “transformed” over 16 years in 1 town, why not use the word groomed rather than raped.
Lost ……… the UK has lost the ability to state the actual events, so it is the UK that HAS LOST.

The longer I listen the more she sounds like a mafia Don – she turns the waterworks on every so often but neither the chair or KC fall for it .
Her cold heart wouid make her ideal for their NHS
Why do ‘our’ politicians seem to do everything the opposite of what the general population want.
Whether it’s crime, immigration, housing, nhs stuff or anything else it’s always us against them.
Do you think that if we all said we want much much more mass immigration that they would suddenly stop all immigration or if we said we wanted less prisons they would build more?
Yes – when a sub post master committed suicide her first response was to find out the ( multiple ) reasons so that the post office wouldn’t get the blame …
The mentality also found in the health department blood horror ….
Apart from the perjuring expert witness she seem most likely to face a court – in this world or the next ….
Health Secretary announces over £13 billion of debt will be written off as part of a major financial reset for NHS providers.

The HSJ, as the Health Service Journal likes to be known these days, has managed to produce one of the most intriguing headlines of the week: ‘NHS is “pandering to ministers” by cutting its equality, diversity and inclusion teams to 35 whole-time posts.’
Overall, according to a set of Freedom of Information requests submitted by the Taxpayers’ Alliance last October, NHS England employs 800 diversity and inclusion officers, at a cost of £40 million a year.
She worked for the post office for 7 years before she found out that her post office carried out private prosecutions – there was laughter of derision when she told this lie .
Same with her lie to the parliamentary committee. She has another 2 days of this if she survives it ( she will )
Twice in previous careers i have been a sort of PA / Staff to a senior manager – part of the job was to make sure the boss was fully briefed . Vennels just lies her way through the inquiry ..
They’ll all cover their arses, weep their way out of blame and generally piss off even more people in the post office – those that are still alive that is!
I’m curious as to whether these appearances at Public Inquiries will damage the possibility of successful prosecutions. Will potential defendants like Vennells be able to claim their trials are prejudiced by their testimony at the Inquiry, self incrimination?
Perhaps they hope that Inquiries will do just that and also act as a lightning rod for public opinion. Of course it also usefully extends the day of reckoning into the future.
I just watched on Guido, Craig MacKinley, the bionic MP, walking into the Commons to a standing ovation. I just wonder how the BBC is reporting this. There is no equivalent Labour MP to show balanced reporting. How will reporting about him be judged by OFCOM?

“Mr Davies said several international energy companies were interested in investing in the site.

……… old news …
Theresa May has been accused of backing down on security concerns about Chinese involvement in nuclear power after she gave the go-ahead to the £18bn Hinkley Point C plant following a six-week review.
The government insisted the new plant in Somerset was only being approved with “significant new safeguards” to make sure China and other foreign investors could not own stakes in British nuclear plants without UK government approval.”
Been listening to the witch – I guess the requirement honour or morality or truthfulness isn’t a job requirement of a vicar . She has spent the day swerving responsibility . An example made flesh of an inadequate person getting a big job for which she had little capability or understanding … no wonder Blighty is screwed …
She is or was an establishment figure and she went on from the Post Office to head an NHS hospital group even though what had gone on before and the allegations were absolute public knowledge.
Her predecessor another ex public school alumi and establishment figure Adam Crozier started all of this and despite his denials it has been proved he absolutely had full knowledge of Horizons flaws.
Then there are the nameless and faceless senior civil servants who wrote the targets expected of Venells including clawing back the falsified losses and who it appears are never going to be held to account despite being as guilty as sin.
We also have the issue of the masssively overfunded court case against the subpostmasters which Venells didn’t have the power to authorise but someone in the senior civil service and the government, authorised £100 million of tax payer money to cover legal costs. An outrageous amount of money which was used to fight innocent victims and which the government was absolutely aware of.
Alas none of these establishment figures will ever be brought to account.
Yes Venells is guilty, but she isn’t the only one, and it’s sickening to watch the media and the establishment close ranks to scapegoat her in order to protect themselves at all costs.
If there is to be a general election on 4th July (independence day) then I expect the BBC to be canvassing as they always do for Labour, and given the disillusionment with the Tories I also expect there will be few complaints about it.
If it comes to pass it would be an odd choice of date as it was usually believed the less clement the weather the less chance there was of Labour voters turning out, but then I guess with the fraud of postal voting one man can vote several hundred times without having to leave his house !
Thoughtful
The Tories have already “shot themselves in the foot”. They are now scraping the barrel and promising “Jam tomorrow”.
I do know that a lot of taffmen are are going to side with The Reform Party & UKIP, but then having stated that , we taffmen are small in number compared with the dingy divers abiding now in Great Britain .
A bit off topic but let not forget the BBC involvement in scare tactics in climate control and during COVID, Even the fact that FAUCI has admitted his involvement in promoting the pandemic scare. the BBC were so very very eager to promote it in the UK and globally round the world as an emergency.
BBC are keen to promote the next pandemic as soon as they get enough to sign up for it. The UK is (like the recent ICC ruling) fully signed up all all UN protocol good and bad.
“UN bureaucrats and Globalists embedded in the bowels of the World Health Organization – a failing, expensive, unelected, unaccountable, supranational entity that seeks to expand its power continually, overriding the democracies of nation-states and the freedoms of individuals. Here’s what awaits us, if you and I don’t act: A New Global Authority would call any health scare a pandemic. Forced Vaccines and Quarantines even if you’re healthy. They want to check on you and silence any questioning or dissent. Travel Restrictions to stop you from crossing borders or even moving around town to visit family and friends. Global lockdowns, where national governments will no longer have a say. Closing of churches and forbidding public gatherings for protests, sports or entertainment. And it doesn’t stop there: Your kids would be vaccinated without your say! Your daily life and travels would be cut short on a whim!”
There is a 3 million strong petition against the WHO controlling the next release of a virus. You can protest against it here, as I just have.
The current government and the next will sign it. This may be our last chance to stop it. its got to be a popular vote that may just stop it.

I feel a bit of a fraud, not being a regular poster but nevertheless take pole position. Yey! I came here to see if anyone else had read about the late Iranian president having, according to the BBC, a ‘mixed legacy’. Huh!! Just what does it take for the BBC to describe people properly?
Mind you, I read that on a GB News headline. They do like to mix it a bit, knowing their readership.
I wish we could have a news service that was..you know..just in the ‘middle’. No agenda, no bias just dull and accurate without an attempt to swing your vote. Wishful thinking I’m sure.

“XL Bully attack – latest: Woman killed by two dogs in Hornchurch pictured”
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/xl-bully-attack-dogs-hornchurch-london-news-b2548500.html
Angeline Mahal was attacked by a dog at her home in Cornwall Close (Supplied)
” More people living and working close to Monday’s dog fatal attack have given their reaction to the tragic death of Angeline Mahal this afternoon.
The street was evacuated hours after armed police were called to the scene.
Speaking to The Mirror, one elderly neighbour, who has lived on the street for 40 years, said: “I was scared stiff, there were four or five armed officers who all came round and we were evacuated from our houses.
“There were cars and ambulances and a dozen officers. I said to the police, ‘Is it safe?’, because we were worried there might be a gunman or someone with a sword, it was terrifying.
‘We had no idea it was a dog attack.’ ”
Wonder what the actual law is here?
Police : EVACUATE NOW!
Resident : buzz off, I’m eating my dinner.

lol – we don;t get told this but I was reading the other day how the car ‘autopilots’ have far fewer accidents and hence are much safer.
The elephant in THAT room of course is that autopilot accidents are actually blamed on the human who was supposed to intervene but didn’t.
There are many facts about these things we are not told about. For example here in Thailand, many people travel in the back of trucks. The ‘autopilot’ see’s these people in front and slams on the brakes.
And of course after slamming on the brakes for no reason at all, anyone who runs into the back of them is to blame, not the autopilot.

Companies buy these cars because of the tax breaks, especially the benefits in kind. It makes perfect sense for them.
The companies usually lease the cars for two or three years, then they are sold on to the second hand market. There the problem starts, as no-one wants to buy a second hand EV. They are too expensive, and you have lost two or three years of battery life. Who wants that?
So EVs are a dead duck in the second hand market, and without that the whole business model crumbles. Welcome to clown world.

Grooming gang ringleader jailed for 12 more years
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c299peep414o
This BBC article is short and basic facts only.
THIS is why the extreme hypocrites on the Left disgust me so much:
This story would be front-page news if it were not because of the racists at the BBC. It is a horrendous story which should have all the Lefty activists on the streets demanding laws be changed and action being taken. We should be getting daily headlines of what happened and how it was allowed to happen. Panorama should be hounding people on the street about what they did.
But I only found it because it came up on the phone news feed here:
https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-trent-news/grooming-gang-took-girls-stoke-9298117
Which has all the information the BBC SHOULD have had. I didn’t see it on any main page so I had to search to find it.
What this – and others stories like it – prove to me beyond any dount whatsoever is that all these ‘feminist activists’ who take to the streets, demand the laws are changed and get full coverage by the BBC for their night-time vigils are nothing more than racist white male hating misandrists.
They completely ignore the BIG stories like this which are not one individual white pervert, they are gangs organised in Muslim communities who are confident none of them will shop the group to the infidels. It’s totally different and 100 times worse.
And the woke scum at the BBC are 100% complicit. They don’t care how many white girls are raped by Muslim gangs. All they care about is protecting them and stopping us knowing about it for their far-Left agenda.
I’m not even certain what that agenda is any more. It seems they think that if they keep trying to be their friends, they can sneak ‘good morales’ in and eventually change them to be like us. And in order to their ‘friends’, they must not shame them with reports like this.
They are doing EXACTLY the same with the other Muslims in Gaza.
These people make me sick. The BBC (and the Left) share the guilt for the abuse of these young girls. What do these hypocrites say themselves ? – ‘silence is violence’ ?.
I can 100% appreciate how the Left have murdered so many millions in the past when they are convinced by their own ideological agenda that it is for the best in the long run.

Yesterday BBC wrote a long detailed article about AI, climate and power
“ooh scary data centres use lots of energy”
Then he got his maths wrong
A city might run on one 1GW gas power station ie 1,000 MW
he talks about an AI operation running at 4MW for 90 days
In a 24 hour day 4*24 = about 100MW hours
In 90 days about 9000MWh
Actually about 8600
Or 8.6GWh
See how that’s what one power station puts out in a day !
Yet he wrote it’s “more than the entire Northern Ireland annual consumption” !!!
He was out my miles
then he gets called out
First denies there’s a problem ..https://x.com/chrisbaraniuk/status/1792814078970544373

the charts indicate NI domestic meter consumption is 450GWh
Ie a week is about 8.6GWh
Since another category is called standard meters
And must include non-domestics like factories and government buildings. And its tally is another 80%
Ie total is about 16Gwh/week for City of Belfast

Scrob,
Thank you. It is a good read.
I think that the reason the hyperglobalists and their minions in the UN, national governments and MSM, are so sensitive to anyone who questions the climate apocalypse is that they are using climate as a major weapon in their plan for an anti democratic One World Government .
They will be able to gain all sorts of leverage over us ordinary folk if they can convince us that we will all be burnt to a cinder if we don’t do as we are told. Smart meters being a good example.
It will be very interesting to see how they deal with new Dutch government which has started abandoning several Net Zero policies. They can’t let Holland opt out of Net Zero or it will be the first stone in an avalanche.

Regarding smart meters, I’ve just fixed our monthly DD to a rate which is just under double what we were paying in 2016. Nut zero is indeed a weak government’s response to pressure from those much higher up the gravy train, and all paid for by the likes of us mortals!
Labour will continue with the farce within the next ten months, and there’ll be absolutely nothing we can do about it, even if power prices are sure to be an electioneering issue!

Apparently an extra 500 five star hotels have been requisitioned to house immigrants who have been sentenced to a prison term . These come fully equipped with gyms, swimming pool, Michelin star restaurants ( as a cost saving measure the Home Office have conceded that some hotels with only a single Michelin star rather than the stipulated two or three, may be included ). The ball rooms of the hotels will be turned into Mosques. A budget of £5 billion has been set aside for this work.
Female staff have been given training on how to wear modest clothing so as not to inflame the passions of the prisoners, sorry guests. It has also been made clear to them that if they are molested by guests it will be their own fault and that they can bring no charges because to do so would be racist in the extreme.
Any excess white British prisoners are to be accommodated in an ex army base in Northumberland . The Home Office has bought 100 DIY manuals from BandQ plus ample supplies of materials as the camp is in disrepair having been unoccupied since 1978. The plan is that the prisoners will upskill themselves by trial and error before winter sets in. Food supplies will be dropped by helicopter if any aircraft are available and the weather permits.

There was a documentary about overcrowding a while back. As you might expect, they hid the inconvenient truth – but at one point as it went past a port-hole window to a cell, you could see it was full of BAME.
Same as the looting during the BLM riots. We only got to see the police cars in attendance, but when they interviewed a cop, you could see the stream of black people carrying their loot in the background.
One might also wonder why nobody was stopping them. I presume it was because there were so many, it might cause trouble which the media would again mis-represent.

Poor Justin then – unusually – gets a flat ‘no’ – to returning to the EU and ‘no’ to the Single Market .

Girl after mine own heart Allison Pearson of the Telegraph ponders: What other scandals await corrupt Britain?
As of August 2023, there are 13 statutory inquiries taking place in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland… Inquiries are a bit like political scandals – there are always several going on at once. They’re part of the background hum of our public life. (A welcome debut hereabouts for Milners Solicitors ‘Your no-nonsense Yorkshire solicitors… When you need legal expertise, you’ll find us plain talking’)
“Short inquiry” isn’t quite an oxymoron – but they do tend to take their time. Alongside overspending, this is perhaps the most common criticism levelled against them… They cover everything from civil engineering to police misconduct; from the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic to abuse in the immigration system. At Milners, we’re proud to represent individuals in inquiries… (Milners)
Milners attitude to our many and various multiple long-running official public inquiries reminds me of a visual gag from a Laurel & Hardy movie (here’s one for the teenagers) plodding along somewhere through the big American outdoors our comic pair observe a mighty mountain peak. Suddenly the summit is surrounded by a halo of stars – in comedic immitation of the Paramount Pictures logo: “Looks like bread and butter to me” is the punchline.
Cod liver oil may be making you ill – warns the Telegraph – vintage comic duo Tom and Jerry were onto that one years ago.
Pick a supranatinonal unaccountable globalist know-it-all body and pick their various utterances for one that best suits your chosen political narrative: UK risks debt crisis as Tories and Labour ignore IMF over tax cuts (‘i’); IMF calls for three rate cuts by end of year as inflation falls (Telegraph) – how about Britain elects a government that has the suffient nouce to pick its own economic policy that best serves our own local economic interests? Ignore the globalist opinion. There’s a radical notion.

My Desi would be absolutely thrilled (Daily Express) – let’s attempt to tackle the cognative dissonance here – there must be some logic somewhere – Esther wishes he were alive, so that she could now pack him off to Jersey – to bump him off?
Because our NHS doctors don’t do that sort of thing at present anyway with a nod and a wink? Have Esther and her campaigners never had a terminally ill relative in NHS care? Because Mr AsI has and knows how these things work. We don’t need no additional legislation on this issue. Like a lot of newly thunk up legislation monkeying with our existing laws it will inevitably do far worse harm than good. And of course make more work for more lawyers.
And on that serious note…

I’m not prepared to spend an inordinate amount of effort to explore a controversial topic which most sensible people now question, viz.: ‘Climate Change’. But, like many others, my guts tell me what I need to know but, I am very uncomfortable with the stats and nonsense the public is being fed. So here’s a very brief sojourn into the way I see one practical part of the nonsense.
We hear on our own, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” this morning that the rainfall is now reaching levels that can only be attributed to “The Climate Catastrophe”.
In a simple DEFRA table: “Average temperature and total rainfall in England and Wales : 1845 to 2012”,
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/annual-average-rainfall-and-temperature#full-publication-update-history
a quick eye-ball scan of the data, tells the researcher that little has changed over the years. Post 2012? Figures in this graphical form are no longer available………
Rainfall data only easily available up until 2013. Why so? Well DEFRA note:
“8 December 2014
The indicator has been revised in line with discussions with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology on amending the old rainfall and temperature index.” “Amend” inches/mm cannot be amended can they? A link given to search the Centre for Eco Loonery? Good luck with that. All obfuscation and confusion in accordance with the common policy of depriving the general public of simple-to-understand easily obtainable data.
My overriding questions? Well, if I’m not mistaken, in every circumstance, water is used to reduce temperatures and douse fires. No? Well it appears not. Putting aside the dense cooling cloud cover that exists when we get heavy rain should the temps during this rain not have the effect of being reduced? No, they go up. Counter intuitive? You bet. Surely this must mean that the temperatures are really off the scale if there was no, forgive me, ‘cooling rain and cloud’?
Met Office temp. recording stations are at ground level.
https://blog.metoffice.gov.uk/2022/07/18/maximum-temperatures-and-how-theyre-recorded/
2 + 2 = 5. Got it?
Fire Service?
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fire-statistics-data-tables#temporal-and-seasonal
Weird, no cumulative graph over the years…………
But by hour of the day and by month.
You would think that if you were trying to convince the unwashed that there was a “Climate Catastrophe” problem, you would cover and distort all bases. The plot thickens by the day.

I had exactly the same feeling watching them applaud when Baldwin did his Trump impersonations.
They weren’t applauding because he was funny, they were applauding the insults. Because that’s what the Left are really like when you scrape through their veneer of virtue-signalling and hypocrisy. Shallow, greedy, unpleasant and nasty.

Why do ‘our’ politicians seem to do everything the opposite of what the general population want.
Whether it’s crime, immigration, housing, nhs stuff or anything else it’s always us against them.
Do you think that if we all said we want much much more mass immigration that they would suddenly stop all immigration or if we said we wanted less prisons they would build more?

NHS to benefit from £13.4 billion debt write-off
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/nhs-to-benefit-from-13-4-billion-debt-write-off
Health Secretary announces over £13 billion of debt will be written off as part of a major financial reset for NHS providers.

The HSJ, as the Health Service Journal likes to be known these days, has managed to produce one of the most intriguing headlines of the week: ‘NHS is “pandering to ministers” by cutting its equality, diversity and inclusion teams to 35 whole-time posts.’
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/does-the-nhs-need-any-diversity-officers/
Overall, according to a set of Freedom of Information requests submitted by the Taxpayers’ Alliance last October, NHS England employs 800 diversity and inclusion officers, at a cost of £40 million a year.

I’m curious as to whether these appearances at Public Inquiries will damage the possibility of successful prosecutions. Will potential defendants like Vennells be able to claim their trials are prejudiced by their testimony at the Inquiry, self incrimination?
Perhaps they hope that Inquiries will do just that and also act as a lightning rod for public opinion. Of course it also usefully extends the day of reckoning into the future.

She is or was an establishment figure and she went on from the Post Office to head an NHS hospital group even though what had gone on before and the allegations were absolute public knowledge.
Her predecessor another ex public school alumi and establishment figure Adam Crozier started all of this and despite his denials it has been proved he absolutely had full knowledge of Horizons flaws.
Then there are the nameless and faceless senior civil servants who wrote the targets expected of Venells including clawing back the falsified losses and who it appears are never going to be held to account despite being as guilty as sin.
We also have the issue of the masssively overfunded court case against the subpostmasters which Venells didn’t have the power to authorise but someone in the senior civil service and the government, authorised £100 million of tax payer money to cover legal costs. An outrageous amount of money which was used to fight innocent victims and which the government was absolutely aware of.
Alas none of these establishment figures will ever be brought to account.
Yes Venells is guilty, but she isn’t the only one, and it’s sickening to watch the media and the establishment close ranks to scapegoat her in order to protect themselves at all costs.

If there is to be a general election on 4th July (independence day) then I expect the BBC to be canvassing as they always do for Labour, and given the disillusionment with the Tories I also expect there will be few complaints about it.
If it comes to pass it would be an odd choice of date as it was usually believed the less clement the weather the less chance there was of Labour voters turning out, but then I guess with the fraud of postal voting one man can vote several hundred times without having to leave his house !

A bit off topic but let not forget the BBC involvement in scare tactics in climate control and during COVID, Even the fact that FAUCI has admitted his involvement in promoting the pandemic scare. the BBC were so very very eager to promote it in the UK and globally round the world as an emergency.
BBC are keen to promote the next pandemic as soon as they get enough to sign up for it. The UK is (like the recent ICC ruling) fully signed up all all UN protocol good and bad.
“UN bureaucrats and Globalists embedded in the bowels of the World Health Organization – a failing, expensive, unelected, unaccountable, supranational entity that seeks to expand its power continually, overriding the democracies of nation-states and the freedoms of individuals. Here’s what awaits us, if you and I don’t act: A New Global Authority would call any health scare a pandemic. Forced Vaccines and Quarantines even if you’re healthy. They want to check on you and silence any questioning or dissent. Travel Restrictions to stop you from crossing borders or even moving around town to visit family and friends. Global lockdowns, where national governments will no longer have a say. Closing of churches and forbidding public gatherings for protests, sports or entertainment. And it doesn’t stop there: Your kids would be vaccinated without your say! Your daily life and travels would be cut short on a whim!”
There is a 3 million strong petition against the WHO controlling the next release of a virus. You can protest against it here, as I just have.
The current government and the next will sign it. This may be our last chance to stop it. its got to be a popular vote that may just stop it.
